The Fight
The Fight
I fight with you daily
Taking pill after pill
Wondering if you will ever finally kill
Then I realize; you already have
You’ve killed my body
You’ve killed my mind
You’ve killed my ambitions, hopes and dreams
But I keep on fighting you
In hopes that you won’t kill my soul
Although you are close
You’ve stopped me from life
You’ve stopped me from having kids
You’ve stopped me from going out,
Having fun
You’ve even stopped me from caring…
About what you ask?
About my mind, my body and my life
You are nothing but trouble
Everyday that you strike
You come out of nowhere
Causing me to cry
Causing me to fight
Causing me to want to die
Who would do such a thing?
Who would cause so much pain?
Who would follow me around?
Destroying my life?
Who would do such a thing?
Endometriosis is who!
